Are you in a city that gets a Million Counts of Radiation a Week? First, how on earth are you going to find out? Folks, that is a secret, isn’t it?

This is a Bad situation for all exposed to the Rad. Now included, for the 8th Week of 2018 just passed, all cities above 8,000,000 CPM Year to Date of deadly Gamma Radiation and its unpublished radioactive kin. A Count is One Radioactive Decay.

There were 1,488 Hours from January 1, 2018 to Midnight March 3, 2018. Invariably some of the 135 RadNet radiation monitoring stations fail to file all 1,488 hourly reports.34 Cities above 8 Million CPM in Week 8 of 2018

In that case, the missing reports are filled in with the average radiation count of the reports that were filed. Not a perfect system; but, machines sometimes fail, the radiation never skips an hour, minute or second though.

When missing values are calculated using the Average Values YTD method and added to the Recorded Counts the number of affected cities above 8 Million Counts jumps to 34 cities.

Again, the missing reports are expected to be filed in the next few weeks. For now the missing reports are filled in by the average radiation since the first of the year.

The radiation counts are recounted from January 1 each week so no late reports will be missed.

Target Population Column Added. A Column displaying the latest Official Census in 2010 in the surrounding area to the nuclear site is shown. It is the Standard Metropolitan Area Census Report.

All of the Target Population are subject to random murder and/or illness from the daily radioactive emissions of the nuclear plant or weapons site.

The US Government thinks that nuclear weapons and the huge supportive nuclear industry are required for the national defense. So there you have the problem set. I disagree.

It’s been about 73 years now and no person or nation has convinced the US government to change the nuclear policy. Since the reactors leak Rads every day, and have since their construction; the nation is long past saving. There is nothing that can be done now.

These are the 24 Hour a day recorded Total Gamma Radiation numbers in CPM [Counts per Minute] measured highs affecting people around the United States. Be prepared for a shock, these Year to Date totals are really big radiation numbers.

These levels are dangerous to people, animals and plants. If you absorb very much of this radiation, at all, you turn stupid and die.

The Rad numbers are your guide to your exposure to the Rad. How much you already absorbed in your daily life is really hard to find out.

The nine Nuclear Weapons Labs in the US know, of course. The radiation data are currently Restricted and Withheld for all Normals; except for Gamma Radiation through EPA.

Notice: It is necessary for public health and because the many nuclear reactors are venting radioactive gases constantly to stay inside as much as possible.

All residents should stay inside at nights and on weekends. It’s your life, your choice. The Rad is always cumulative. What you absorbed before now is still inside you.

Especially hard hit are the cities listed in YRTW YTD ELE. See the latest “Your Radiation This Week,” “Million a Week Club” or “TOTAL GAMMA RADIATION” reports for the most recent list. You may purchase reports for a small charge.

Changes

The word “Recorded” is added to the annual total for the leader among cities and for the national totals for Gamma Radiation [Rad.]

The SPOTLIGHT on Rad in Colorado Springs is to present the records for the Total Gamma Radiation in Colorado Springs for the past Eleven Plus years.

Beta Rad Counts are no longer published by RadNet. The single word “WITHHELD” replaces the former mathematical notation “-0-“.

Other radiation species are also Withheld by the US. That should be crystal clear now for most Americans.

The valuable Beta Count is history just when we could use it most. It was used to track Beta water lakes under leaking reactors. Beware: Radioactive Beta Water combines easily with Humans, animals and plants.

MILLION A WEEK CLUB TOTAL GAMMA RAD USA

Million a Week Club is a new publication by Bob Nichols in “VeteransToday” and Bob Nichols’ own websites. See Resources below.*

Read it and weep. It is a done deal and cannot be changed.

To be eligible a city must sport a Gamma Radiation of at least a Million Gamma Rads a Week. It is NOT a good club to be in. There is no prize, only death, disease and chaos.

RadNet, EPA Request

I requested the radiological efficiency recording number for the radiation monitoring units from RadNet and EPA. As they say, we’ll see what happens with that.

New Rad Measurement. Year to Date, 24 Hours a Day Rad measurements are added to the report for all reporting cities. Rad Counts, called CPMs, are in the tens of millions everywhere in the States.

The Table of Poisoned American Cities is changed. A new Column labeled “Tokyo Equivalent Rads” is added. The acronym is designated TER, the plural is written TERs. One TER is defined as the nSv/Hour measurement at the Rad monitor in Metropolitan Toneri Park in Tokyo, Japan.

The Tokyo nSv/Hour Rad reading gives you an instant and direct comparison of your city to the Rad Monitor in Metropolitan Toneri Park in Tokyo, Japan. All American reporting cities are more radioactive than Tokyo.

What? Sue TEPCO and the Government of Japan over Fukushima Daiichi … and Win! Incredible! You bet your bottom dollar!

Lead Attorney Katsuyoshi Suzuki is the Super Lawyer who beat the combined forces the Tokyo Electric Power Company [TEPCO,] a huge corporation and the Japanese government. He and the legal team are to be applauded world wide.

The District Court ordered “the two to pay damages totaling ¥38.55 million to 62 of 137 plaintiffs from 45 households located near the plant, which suffered a triple meltdown caused by the tsunami, awarding ¥70,000 to ¥3.5 million in compensation to each plaintiff.”

As one person wryly observed “it’s a judgement against a shell company and a bankrupt extinct-ed country. So what? there is nothing there.”

As they say, we will see what happens. The Japan Times said “The ruling was the first of 30 similar class-action suits filed nationwide involving more than 10,000 plaintiffs.”

YRTW ELE readers can read the Japan Times article “In [a] First, Government and TEPCO Found Liable for Fukushima Disaster.” Anyone can lookup the case on my Soc Media accounts. See under “Resources” below.
